[Nucleotide sequence of the 3'-terminus of encephalomyocarditis virus RNA].

Reverse transcription produced DNA-copies of the 3'-terminal sequence of mouse encephalomyocarditis virus RNA. Cloning and sequencing of this cDNA afforded the structure of the 3'-terminus of viral RNA over the length of 2988 nucleotide residues. The probable sites of proteolytic cleavage of the immature protein have been determined and the homology with the respective poliovirus proteins has been established.
